What EF2 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF2 is considerable damage: roofs torn off well-built houses, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, consistent with estimated gusts of 111–135 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

An EF-2 tornado touched down in western Maury County, just northeast of Hampshire near U.S. Highway 412. It was here that timber damage occurred as well as damage to at least one barn on Old State Road and Roy Thompson Road. The tornado crossed into an inaccessible wooded area thereafter then emerged onto Rippey Lake Road, causing additional damage to trees. The tornado then caused significant damage to a home, removing almost the entire roof section and collapsing most walls. The tornado weakened as it moved southeast, causing additional timber damage on South Bridges Road before dissipating on Ashwood Road. Damages are a rough estimate.

The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms moved across Middle Tennessee during the evening hours of March 30, 2025, and into the early morning of March 31, 2025. With ample moisture, instability, and wind shear in place, the stage was set for severe weather. Thunderstorm wind damage was common with several reports of downed trees and other structure damage received. Large hail up to 2 inches in diameter was also reported, especially across Williamson County. This event was also responsible for four tornadoes with the strongest being an EF-2 tornado near Hampshire in Maury County.

Began near Hampshire (35.6018, -87.2808).
